The Master of Beasts-Chapter 730 - 221: (Part 2)

The tendons and bones of his body were cut, and a strange energy prevented the Immortal Body from healing. Heng Li and the others could only lie weakly on the ground.

"How dare you attack us, you're doomed, you..."

Chen Jiuge frowned, and a shadow, understanding him well, also cut off the tongues of the four people.

"Transmit my command, if such things happen again, the offending cultivators will all be detained!"

"Detained? I'd like to see how you, a junior, plan to detain me?"

A Golden Immortal couldn't sit still and planned to come out personally to give Chen Jiuge a lesson.

"Golden Immortal?" Chen Jiuge's expression turned slightly serious for a moment, but only for a moment!

"Senior, are you planning to be shameless?" Chen Jiuge said unceremoniously.

"Shameless, junior, you should understand to respect the strong!"

This Golden Immortal was also not polite and directly pressed down on Chen Jiuge with his palm!

In this instant, Chen Jiuge instantly made a small deal with the Nightmare Clan.

"Hiss hiss hiss"

A strange hissing sound echoed as a mantis-like Nightmare appeared in front of Chen Jiuge. With a slight slash of its two blades, two deep knife scars appeared on the Golden Immortal's palm.

A stream of black gas continuously drilled into the wound.

"Nightmare? You're actually colluding with outsiders?" The Golden Immortal withdrew his palm, looking shocked yet with a hint of delight as he looked at the mantis Nightmare before him.

Chen Jiuge curled a sneer: "No problem, right!"

The mantis-like Nightmare shook its blade arms, raspingly saying: "Don't underestimate us, although our cultivation is gained by devouring, and not very compatible with ourselves, in your eyes, we should still be considered strong among the same level!"

"Then help me dispose of him, no problem, right!" Chen Jiuge said indifferently.

"Hmm? Dispose of? Aren't you allies?" The mantis Nightmare asked curiously.

"Why so much nonsense, your clan leader sent you here, you should be following my orders!" Chen Jiuge said somewhat displeased.

"Goo goo goo"

With an inexplicable laugh, the mantis Nightmare stepped forward and said: "Alright, as you humans say, you're my employer now, rest assured, I will follow your orders!"

"So, this guy who looks pretty good in front of me, will you surrender on your own, or shall I cut you into small pieces bit by bit?"

A thick black aura spread from the mantis Nightmare's feet, making his not so tall figure appear like an unbreakable mountain in the eyes of the Golden Immortal He Shan, with a ghastly face of the kind cultivator shows before death looming behind him.

Unconsciously, a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and He Shan said in a deep voice: "Chen Jiuge, do you really intend to collaborate with outsiders against your own people?"

"Outsiders? Own people? You better worry about surviving first!" Chen Jiuge slightly shook his head.

"Hey, old man, you've said enough, take my...."

"Enough!"

A voice filled with anger echoed from the void!

Shuibing and Jiuying first stepped out of the void, followed by a large group of young cultivators on their first outing.

"Who allowed you all to kill each other!"

"My lord, you must stand up for me. He relies on some merits and actually colludes with the Nightmares to deal with his own people!" He Shan was the first to complain.

Shuibing looked at He Shan coldly: "What do you mean by relying on some merits? What do you mean by colluding with outsiders?"

"He Shan, I remember you are also a commander responsible for a region, right? Did I not send out any messages to you commanders?"

He Shan defended: "My lord, how could we possibly work with the Nightmares."

Looking at Chen Jiuge with malice, He Shan maliciously said: "He must be controlled by the Nightmares. How could a mere Heavenly Immortal possibly conquer such a large territory!"

"Slap"

Shuibing slapped this fool to the ground, looking around with sharp eyes, and said lightly: "Is there anyone who thinks the same as this fool?"

As soon as the words fell, originally empty air suddenly revealed dozens of figures, all these were the Golden Immortals that Shuibing had cultivated and subdued over the years.

"No need to worry, my lord, we are not fools like He Shan!" A colorful cultivator holding a folding fan mocked.

"That's right, most of us subordinates didn't make trouble, all the troublemakers were all He Shan's subordinates!"

Listening roughly to the hubbub, Shuibing waved his hand: "I don't care how you were before, now is not before, Star Moon City was conquered by Chen Jiuge alone, I have not provided any support to him."

"This White Lotus can attest to."

A white-dressed, face not easy to approach, White Lotus nodded coldly: "Indeed."

"So, I don't want some people relying on how long they've followed me, to seek personal gain here, everyone knows what's happening outside now."

"This is a place I chose to recuperate, you should understand my rules."

"We will heed your command, my lord!"

"Hmm, then disperse."

After dispersing the Golden Immortals, Shuibing turned to look at Chen Jiuge, a hint of apology on his lips: "Sorry, these people have been out there too long, different from before."

Most of these subordinates were cultivated personally at Jiuying Station, but there were also those like He Shan who were subdued halfway!

Cultivating to become a Golden Immortal, and still able to submit to force, at least one in ten thousand, one can imagine He Shan's character.

"On the way here, Song Bei and Wu Tian have already told me the general situation. Are these Nightmares really fine?"

The mantis Nightmare waved its blade arms somewhat discontentedly: "My lord, although your cultivation is high, you also shouldn't just fabricate about us due to your profound cultivation!"

"We of the Nightmare Clan value honesty the most, no, all Chaos Creatures value honesty, without honesty, surviving in Chaos is impossible!"

"Is there such a saying?" Chen Jiuge said somewhat surprised.

The mantis Nightmare's tone was somewhat low: "Of course, in Chaos, we need to offer food as sacrifices to more powerful races to maintain protection, my family was sacrificed as such!"

Chen Jiuge didn't really know how to comment, now that he was cooperating with the Nightmares as partners: "Condolences!"

"It's alright, I don't really feel like remembering!" The mantis revealed a cheeky smile.

While knowing that when the Nightmares devour cultivators to acquire Divine Skills, they are also influenced by the nature of the devoured cultivators, but he shouldn't have devoured a mantis, right?

Could it be that there are jokers among the mantises too?

"I still have to arrange these kids, so let your people handle Star Moon City, with my command, they won't resist!"

Shuibing interrupted the mantis's act of cuteness.

"Okay!"

After Shuibing left, the mantis retracted its gaze, its almond-like eyes fixed intently on Chen Jiuge: "Even though I didn't kill that old guy, you still have to pay for my involvement!"

"I know, half, as agreed before, just getting involved, but not succeeding, can only fetch half the payment!" Chen Jiuge nodded.

"Half, how frustrating, that old guy was obviously so weak, just give me ten breaths' time and I could have cut him into eight pieces, truly frustrating!"

Ignoring the mantis's grumbling, Chen Jiuge returned to his former demeanor, and with a smile, pulled Yue Meng along as they walked away into the distance.

..........

As time ticked away, the Golden Desert began to buzz with activity.

Due to many bizarre reasons, after the integration of the newly opened region and the True Realm, many major sects did not send their sect's strong cultivators over to receive it.

Plus, with the presence of many Nightmares in the Golden Desert, it turned the once desirable Golden Desert into a hot potato.

And within this hot potato, the biggest power standing firm was Star Moon City.

After cooperating with the Nightmares, and with Shuibing's full support, Chen Jiuge, though it took a considerable amount of time, finally managed to barely command that defiant bunch.

After displaying to the outside world a cooperation between Star Moon City and the Nightmares, Chen Jiuge opened Star Moon City to the outside world.

As long as you come to Star Moon City, the Nightmares won't attack you! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

For this condition, Chen Jiuge painfully paid a great number of Spiritual Beasts.

Still remember when receiving the Spiritual Beasts, Meng Ze, an authority figure as a Daluo, jumped up instantly at the first sight of the Spiritual Beasts, almost twitching all over with surprise.

"This time it's truly a massive spend, definitely not losing out!"

Opening trade routes had to be done, a necessary condition!

Although the Golden Desert was rich in resources, due to environmental reasons, these resources were more inclined to earth and fire, which wasn't very friendly to other cultivators.

Chen Jiuge's own cultivation path of the Life Dao also followed the Wood Element, so obtaining resources of other attributes had already become an urgent matter.
